Thanks for this. Very revealing indeed. With the caveat that I'm no more a lawyer than the cast of This Life were real lawyers, seems surprising that the Council won the first case at all.

Are we going to see lots of Tory-Reform councils waste money on challenges?

Asylum seekers can stay at hotel in Epping after government wins appeal (links to: BBC)

The judge in that court made a number of errors that "undermine his decision", Lord Justice Bean says while delivering his ruling
See, Opposition, Leader thereof. Absolutely pathetic, seeing it's her mess being cleared up.
Didn't she say in her maiden speech in Parliament that she was a first-generation immigrant?

Just saw a clip on the news of scuffles at Epping last night. In particular, a bloke who looked early 60s in a St George flag top mouthing off to police. He's the "grandad of 3" type who will burst into tears in the dock if he was arrested and charged. Then again, they all are these far right racists. Biggest fucking group of cry babies around. It's the only bright spot in civil unrest, reading about them crying in the dock at their trial at the end of it all.

Obviously don't know who he is, but there's a big local far right tradition in Epping/ Debden, and some BNP councillors got elected in the noughties. Might not be the first time he's been involved in this sort of thing.

Back at the turn of the '80s, the Debden Skins were a significant risk on the streets.

It must be 20 years ago, Alan Davis made a documentary visiting some significant places fomr his youth.
One "guest" was a former leader of the gang, almost metamophed into a full Gammon.
He cheerily recounted "heading up east on the tube to beat up Pakis".
He still sported signs of an orbital fracture by his left eye.

I recall thinking: "I remember when he got that".

If asylum applicants are murdered in an arson attack, Nigel will be washing the blood off his hands and his dabs off the crime scene. Nothing to do with him, he never advocated that kind of violence.

Police can order hotel protesters to remove masks

Essex Police said a Section 60AA order, under the Public Order Act 1986, has been put in place in Epping, giving officers this power. A dispersal order is also in place.

Earlier, two men from the local area were charged in relation to incidents outside the town's Bell Hotel on Friday night.

One man was charged with failing to produce a specimen after being arrested on suspicion of drink driving, and the second with assaulting an emergency worker.
Come on, show us how fucking brave you are.

A lawyer who writes for the Spectator, and who appears to have no background in asylum issues, has submitted a complaint against the chief judge in the Epping Hotel case. To describe it, I think the word we're looking for is "vexatious".

Basically, Judge Bean is from Matrix Chambers. Yeah, Cherie Blair's gang! He's bias, and he's dun a hippocrasee!

Seriously, that's about all there is to it. Torygraph considers it news.

Many years ago a documentary about Northern Ireland included interviews with Loyalist prisoners, who to a man had nothing but contempt for Ian Paisley, who they said wound them up then condemned them when they broke the law. History repeats itself.
